[MonoDevelop] Debugging a DLL on Windows

[Steve Baer]

Thanks for the replies.

This is a question about debugging an embedded Mono (not the .NET runtime) 
application. I'm not very concerned about debugging support on windows; just 
wanted to know if I was doing something wrong. If the exception dialog is 
not expected, I would be happy to file a bug report about this issue.

I haven't tested this feature on Mac yet. Is Mono debugging supported on 
Mac?

Thanks,
-Steve
